Skulls of Touganda

[Dingo80]

I'm pretty sure that I need these. These are amazing.

I do plan on producing them, just getting all the finer points taken care of. Look for a post in the classified/junkyard (it'll be my first post of that type so not sure which one it's supposed to go in, further research will be done lol)

Now we need a movie accurate ring...

for protection...

I believe these can already be bought online. I am in no way setup to produce metal items so I hesitate to delve into also producing this...that said I'm not adverse to producing a resin one for display only along side these skulls if enough people wanted it.

It might be time for me to upgrade the set I have. I love the idea of the glowing eyes. You did an amazing job.

Ive never found a movie accurate ring being sold, some are close but theyre not exactly the right design.

Yup. No accurate ring has been made yet. It's weird but everybody keeps getting it slightly wrong.

Only a couple prop photos has popped up online which of course makes the task slightly more difficult to nail.

The other "Good sign" ring has even fewer photos of to use for reference too.

Well with all these reference photos I'll reach out to the modeler I commissioned and look into adding this. It won't be metal unfortunately, but will look nice on display with the other skulls at least.

Can't wait to see if they can nail it!

Here's another fairly good shot of both rings-

I've been looking to cast more accurate metal rings since I've been following this post!

 

[Dingo80]

Well until there is a better metal version available, I've had John make me some digital assets of them for me to include with the other 3 skulls.

 

[Dingo80]

Prepping the files for the printer so I can start them immediately when I get home today.

 

[Dingo80]

The raw prints look amazing and fit perfectly...but on the wrong finger hahaha I totally spaced that these are worn on the middle fingers and not the ring fingers. I'll have to scale them up if I want to wear them on the right fingers.

Hey everyone, I've posted an Interest thread over in the Project Runs section for any of you that were interested in acquiring a set. I'll still post here once the rings are finished.

 

[Dingo80]

Got a bit of a surprise for you all. I decided to add LEDs to the skull ring!!! I ordered some purple/UV LEDs of the same size I currently put on the back of the eye gems (and use in my gunpla builds) and was able to get a rough prototype wired up. I still have to test the switch but I'm modifying the 3D file to reflect the physical changes I made to one of the rings so it's:

• Cleaner looking
• Quickly repeatable to keep both my time and everyone's cost low
• Some parts pressure fit for convenience

Here are some pics of the modded prototype before I sneezed and ruined it haha

 

[floatinjoe]

This is very cool.

 

[Dingo80]

This is very cool.

Thank you!

 

[Dingo80]

Here are a few pics of the finished rings. The light up version has thrown me several complications but I have a part on order that should hopefully make the touch function work properly. Doing the incredibly small intricate work to house the circuit and batteries within the ring has been a nightmare honestly lol

 

[floatinjoe]

The rings look amazing!

 

[division 6]

Nice.
I have the freebies that where given away at conventions before the movie came out.

 

[drsyn71]

Your rings look great.

I have a pair of PHANTOM rings that were my brothers. 1994 sterling silver. I remember my brother wearing them to the sneak preview of THE PHANTOM movie we saw in 1996.
